501	"The George Soule Family": On 2 May 1748 the Richmond Town Council voted to accept the certificate given by the South Kingstown Council to Thomas Barber, his wife and six children "named Thomas, Mary, Zebelon, Susannah, Aves and Thenkfull" dated 12 April 1748. Thomas Barber died intestate. On 9 Nov 1762 the estate of Thomas Barber was administered in Exeter RI by his widow Avis.	BARBER, Thomas (I71088)
502	"The George Soule Family": On 27 Nov 1710 Joseph Mory and Benjamin Mory Jr, both of Kingstown RI, sold land to Thomas Hazard. On 21 May 1715, ack. 27 May 1715, Benjamin Mory and wife Lydia deeded land in So., Kingstown RI to Robert Hazard. Benjamin also deeded land to Robert Hazard on 26 Jan. 1714/5. On 12 Jan. 1719 Benjamin Mowry Jr. administered the estate of his brother Roger Mowry. Benjamin Mory's burned will, apparently proved in No. Kingstown RI ca. September 1726, mentions D(burn) Agibail Hiames, Mary Mory, Hannah (burn), Elizabeth Mory. If D(burn) Mary marries John Jones, then she gets only 4 shillings instead of land. On 12 Jan. 1727/8 Benjamin Mory, probably the father, deeded land to his sister-in-law Sarah Mory, widow of Joseph Mory. Sarah Mory, widow of So. Kingstow, and relict of Joseph Mory, sold land 17 July 1725. The 29 March 1728 will of her father Moses Barber mentions heirs of daughter Lydia Mowry deed. The 21 Sep 1755 will of her mother Susannah Barber also mentions the heirs of daughter Lydia Mowry. On 10 June 1734 Abraham Perkins, Robert Hannah and Ichabod Potter were appointed to inventory the estate of Benjamin Mory, late of South Kingstown, decd. This man is probably the father Benjamin, who was b. Providence RI 8 May 1649. The heirs of Benjamin Mory, decd., of No. Kingstown are mentioned as neighbors in a deed made by Joshua Gardner of So. Kingstown and his wife Deliverance dated 5 March 1760. this land is apparently in Exeter RI. NOTE: The burned will record for Benjamin Mory names daughters. the two who are of age to marry or think of marriage are probably the children of Lydia Barber, while the last two, hannah and Elizabeth, are probably by Benjamin Mowry's second marriage and thus not Soule descendants.	MOWRY, Benjamin (I71100)

BARBER, Joseph (I71089)
505	"The George Soule Family": Page 677 of a Family Bible dated 1810 owned by W.R. Bentley of Berlin NY lists the family record of "my father George Bentley mother Ruth Barber" with all the children of this marriage, including those children who died young. Those children who married have their spouses listed, but there are no dates. However, those children and their respective spouses who remained in CT are correctly identified. In the CT probate papers of Ezekiel Bentley is a document from John Barber Babcock, a nephew, "now resident of Albany Co., NY." Caleb, John, Mary and Abigail and perhaps others migrated to the Albany area of NY.	BENTLEY, George (I71109)

KENYON, Sylvester (I71117)
507	"The George Soule Family": The published vital records of So. Kingstown list the marriage of Samuel Tefft to 'Mary' Barber, but careful examination of the original shows the entry to be Samuel Tefft and 'Marcy' Barber. Hence the Samuel Tefft whose estate was given to Oliver Tefft to administer is not the Samuel who married Marcy Barber. Samuel Tefft is listed for the 1774 census of South Kingstown RI with (2-0 1-1). The will of this Samuel Tefft, proved 19 Jan. 1790, with receipts given 4 Feb. 1794, names wife Marcy; son Ezekiel; grandson Hezekiah Tefft; daughter Thankful Lillibridge; granddaughters Marcy wife of Gideon Lillibridge, Marcy Hoxie and Thankful Pendleton.

510	"The George Soule Family": The will of John Webster of Richmond, dated 17 June 1776, names daughter Hannah Barber. Ezekiel Barber served in the American Revolution. Ezekiel Barber is listed for the 1774 census of Richmond RI with (2-2 3-1). No probate record has been found for Ezekiel Barber.	BARBER, Ezekiel (I71093)
511	"The George Soule Family": The will of Samuel Barber of Richmond RI dated 27 may 1760, proved 11 July 1760, names wife Anne; sons Benjamin, Caleb, Edward, Moses and Samuel; daughters Mary Moore, Susanna Potter, Anne Austin, Amie Barber and Meriby (sic) Barber "under eighteen", and grandson daniel Lewis son of daughter Sarah Lewis, decd.

512	"The George Soule Family": The will of Susannah Barber of Charlestown, widow, (her other) names daughter Martha Parker, wife of Thomas Parker. Austin in his Gen. Dict. apparently errs in calling him 'Thomas Potter.' On 30 Oct 1727 Thomas Parker, son of Peter parker, decd., applied for a distribution of the land of his father to himself and his four sisters. On 25 March 1731 Thomas Parker of Westerly, husbandman, with wife martha also signing, sold land in Westerly to William Gardner. On 21 Sept 1731 Thomas and martha Parker sold land in Westerly to John Lewis. On 25 Dec 1727 Thomas and Martha Parker of Westerly sold land in Charlestown. On 23 Feb 1760 Thomas Parker received a legacy from his mother Hannah Carpenter, widow of Joseph Carpenter of South Kingstown.	PARKER, Thomas (I71108)
513	"The George Soule Family": There has been controversy about the spelling of the surname of Moses Barber's wife susannah. the TAG article (52:101) is considered definitive as to the marriage record for Susannah West/Waist/Wast, second wife of Moses Barber.

521	"The Hall Genealogy" of Exeter, New Hampshire: John, b. 1740, was the most noted. He entered early upon a sea-faring life, but was driven from it by the revolutionary troubles, when he immediately took decidedly American grounds. In Dec. 13, 1774, he was engaged in the removal of stores from the fort at Newcastle. In 1775 and 1776, he was a delegate to the general congress; he took command of an independent company of cadets and was present at Burgoin's surrender. He served in Rhode Island with a detachment of his company, and was present when Gen. Sullivan brought off the American troops. he was member and speaker of the N.H. House of Representatives in 1776 and '77; was judge of Court of Common Pleas in 1776, but resigned the next year; in 1778, was agent under Congress for building ships of war, and was continental agent for New Hampshire. In 1779, he was president of N.H. convention for regulating the currency; and from 1777 to 1782 was speaker of the N.H. House of Representatives. In 1780, he was a commissioner to raise men and procure provisions for the army; in June 13, 1783, he was again elected delegate to Congress; in 1784 and 5, he was member of N.H. Senate, and in the later year its president; in 1788, he was delegate to the convention which framed the constitution of the United States. I March 1788, he was elected representative in N.H. Legislature and speaker of the house; but took the office of governor to which he simultaneously chosen; in Nov., 1788, he was elected a member of the senate of the United States, and became the first presiding officer of that body. He was re=elected senator in 1794; later in life he was nominated for vice-president of the United States; but declined on account of advanced age; from 1801 to 1805, he was representative in N.H. Legislature; in 1804 and 5, was speaker; and from 1805 to 1810 and 1810 to 1811, was governor of New Hampshire; the degree of L.L.D., was given him by Dartmouth College in 1805. He died at Portsmouth, Sept. 18, 1819. Of his patriotism the following speaks emphatically: "In one of the darkest periods of the revolution, when our means were small, the Provincial legislature was in session in Exeter, the resources of the country were at the lowest ebb, despair was on every mind when John Langdon arose in that assembly and made this remarkable speech: I have two thousand dollars in specie, I will pledge my plate for as much more, I have eighty hogsheads of Tobago rum which will be sold for the service of the State. The country shall have it all, if we succeed in establishing our liberty I shall be repaid; if not property is of no value, such a proposition reanimated every one; called hope back to all, and the governor said: "We can now raise a New Hampshire regiment, and my friend John Stark can command it." The regiment was raised and bought the battle of Bennington. This success was the turning point which resulted in gaining our liberty."	LANGDON, Gov John (I34865)

523	"The Hoyt and Haight Families in America": It appears, therefore, that Simon Hoyt landed in Salem in 1628 or 1629, perhaps by the ABIGAIL or the GEORGE, and very soon, in 1628 or 1629, probably the latter year, went to Charlestown as one of its first settlers. He could not have remained there more than a year or two, however, if he was one of the first settlers of Dorchester, in 1630. .... It seems that Simon Hoyt left a widow named Susanna, who married a Bates, and died before Feb. 1674. From the fact that a Smith at Scituate is called his brother, it appears that either Simon, or a sister of his, married a Smith. It is probable that Simon had two wives, and that Walter, Nicholas, and John were the sons of the first wife, as will appear from the following agreement, found on the Stamford records: "Witnes these presents an agreement made & concluded between vs viz; Moses Hoyt, Joshua Hoyt, Samuell Hoyt, Benjamin Hoyt, Thomas Lyon, Samuel Flinch,Samuel Firman conserving yye distribution of ye Estate of our deceased mother Susana Bates, ye contents followeth That Moses hoyt receive of Joshua Hoyt ye Just sum of four pounds, thirteen shillings & sixpence which ye said Joshua doth agree to pay. & Samuel Hoyt to have ye beding in his hands & ye horse & wels is in his hands. Benjamin Hoyt to have ye ten pounds left in his hands by our mother Susana afresaid. Thomas Lyon & Samuel Flinch to have ye horses & mares young and old running in ye woods of norwake equally between us, & twenty shillings to each of vs, paid by our brother Joshua Hoyt which ye said Joshua agrees unto. Samuel Firman to have ye horses & mares runing in fairfeeld limits, & twenty shillings more paid by our brother Joshua Hoyt unto me. The Residue of ye Estate of our forsaid mother remaining in ye hands of our brother Joshua Hoyt being four pounds thirteen shillings & six pence, which ye said Joshua to hae as his pie in ye distribution of ye forsaid Estate mutually agreed unto. -- The distribution as above of ye Estate of our mother Amongst us to our mutuall satisfaction, in consideration whereof we the above named doe hereby Joyntly & severally release, discharge & aquit our borther Joshua Hoyt, & one another from all & any further demands of any right, title or interest in ye Estate aforesaid, & from all & any trouble or molestation in & about ye same. Joyntly desiring ye this our agreement may be comited to publique record for the further establishment of ye same, further more it is agreed by us fore-named ye if ye shall arise any Just debts due fro our mother in her widdow-hood ye wee or any of us now not of, ye we ye forenamed will contrybute equally to ye payment of ye said debt. In witness of thrugh unto ye premises we ye piyes forenamed doe binds our selues firmly, as witnes our hands this 1st 12: Anno: 1674. Signed thus Moses Hoyt Joshua Hoyt Samuell Hoyt Benjamin Hoyt thomas Lyon Samuell Flinch Samuell Firman Witness - Abram Finch Jonas Seely From all that has been learned about Simon Hoyt, it is evident that he must have been born before 1600, probably as early as 1595. Hence he was probably thirty or thirty-five years of age at the time of coming to America, and sixty or sixty-five at the time of his death. The chronicles of the time give us some idea of the hardships endured by the first settlers at Charlestown and Dorchester, - the sufferings of the winter; the conspiracy of the Indians t cut off th eEnglish, when "all hands, of men, women, and children wrought t digging and building," until a fort was completed; and the perils of pestilence and famine, when they were compelled to live on "clams, and muscles, and fish." In all these Simon Hoyt must have participated. It also appears that he was an early settler of seven different towns in New England; and in most of them he was one of the first white residents. What an experience of pioneer life he must have had!! Scarcely was he settled in one place before he gave up his home, with all its comforts, and started to subdue a new portion of the wilderness. Most of his children seem to have shared the spirit of their father; for in twenty years after his death no one bearing the name of Hoyt was left in either of these seven towns, except Stamford. the hardy and courageous character of the family is shown, not only by their frequent changes of residence, but by the fact that they lived, in Windsor, at least, away from the other settlers...

524	"The Hull Family in America": Richard Hull, December 3, 1599-aug 21, 1662, colonist, free planter and progenitor of a prominent New Haven branch of the Hull Clan in America, was a native of Derbyshire, England. The exact date of his arrival in New England has not been ascertained. He was made a freeman of Massachusetts Bay Colony at Dorchester in 1634, and a few months later was at Roxbury. In 1636 he sold his dwelling house at Roxbury to one Philip Sherman and removed to Boston. In 1639 he was at New Haven and there ended his wanderings, becoming one of that settlement's recognized founders and permanent citizens. The ancient records show that on joining the New Haven Company he promptly signed the "Fundamental Agreement," was received into the church and became thereby a full fledged member of the select body which constituted the initial General Court, and was soon busied in making history. on the 29th of October 1639, this General Court formally organized the government of the "New Haven Plantation," by electing from their number a Chief Magistrate, four Assistant Magistrates, a marshall, a Notary, and several other officers. At the same time an act was passed providing "That church members only shall be free burgesses, and they only shall choose among themselves magistrates and officers to have the power of transacting all public civil affairs of this plantation, and making and repealing laws": also, "that there shall be a renewing or change of all officers every year at a General Court, to be held for this Plantation the last week in October." It is a matter of record that at this early date the residence of Richard Hull was on Chapel Street, that he was assigned a prominent sitting in the new church and that his family consisted of four persons. The reports of a session of the General Court held in 1649, show that on one occasion that year, when Richard Hull was serving as "Master of the Watch," two sentries who had disobeyed his orders and grossly neglected duty, " were ordered whipped." At another session of the court held the same year, a record is made showing that "Richard Hull, because his son Jeremiah wanted a worm and a scourer," (at an inspection of the train band), "was fined twelve cents." An inventory of the personal estate of Richard Hull was presented Jan. 6, 1662, showing that he had died possessed of goods and chattels valued at One Hundred Pounds, eighteen shilling and four pence.....

525	"The Hull Family in America": George Hull, 1590-1659, surveyor, Indian Trader, magistrate, statesman and founder of a prominent branch of the Hull family in America, the son of Thomas and Joane Peson Hull, of Crewkerne, Somersetshire, England. On August 17, 1614 as shown by the original parish records of the ancient church at Crewkerne village, he was married to Thamzen (Thomasene) Michell, daughter of Robert Michell, a well-do-do- yeoman of Stockland, in the adjoining shire of Dorset. Stockland is about six miles distant from the village of Crewkerne, at or near which the ancestral home of the Hulls was situated, and it was probably included within the bounds of Crewkerne parish. ...... William and Joseph Hull, the oldest and youngest of the brothers of George Hull, were graduates of St. Mary's Hall, Oxford, and ministers of the Church of England. William, who was vicar of Colyton in Devonshire, died childless in 1627, leaving a will in which he names his brothers George, John, and Joseph, also Marie (Mary), daughter of his brother George, and Johanna, daughter of his brother Joseph. George Hull was about forty years of age when he left England, and so far as is known, land surveying was not only his profession but his principal avocation while he remained there. On March 30th, 1629-30, he sailed fro Plymouth, England, with a noted company of adventurers which included Ludlow, Mason, Underhill, Southcote, maverick and Warham, all of whom became men of marked prominence in either the civil, military or ecclesiastical affairs of New England. The record of baptism of his son Joshua at Crewkerne, seven and a half months after his departure suggests the probability that he sailed unaccompanied by his family and at a late date after he had "spied out the land," he either returned for or was joined by them. No record of place or date of death of Thomasene Michell Hull has been discovered, but that she died previous to 1655 is shown by the recorded fact that about that date George Hull was married to Sarah, widow of David Phipin, Esq., of Boston. As previously stated George Hull came to New England in 1629-30. After spending a short time in Boston, he with other colonists settled the town of Dorchester, the records of which show that he was a prominent member of its first board of selectmen, and its representative in the first general court of Massachusetts Bay Colony held May 14, 1634. In 1636 he moved to Windsor, Conn., of which and the adjoining town of Wethersfield, he made official surveys, receiving in compensation for his service, awards of choice town lots. The records of Windsor contain divers records showing that he was one of the "first comers" and prominent grantees of that town, which he was chosen to represent in the general court of Connecticut.....

526	"The Hull Family in America": Joseph Loomis, the father-in-law of Lieut.

He came to America in the ship "Susan and Ellen", leaving England April 1, 1638.....	LOOMIS, Joseph (I36733)
527	"The Hull Family in America": Josiah (Josias) Hull, of Killingworth. He was the eldest son of George, and was baptized at Crewkerne, Somersetshire, England, November 16th, 1616. He sailed from Plymouth with his parents March 30, 1629-1630, in the ship "Mary and John", and first settled at Dorchester, Mass. In the same ship came Humphrey Pinney, who afterwards married his sister Mary at Dorcheter. He with his father and brother=in-law removed to Windsor in 1637, and we find them there as owners of adjoining lands......After his removal to Killingworth, he sold his seat in the Meeting House March 7, 1664, to nathaniel Bissell. On May 20, 1640, he married at Windsor, Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph Loomis and his wife, mary White. In 1643-44, he removed to Killingworth, Conn., where he was chosen first Town Recorder october 2, 1665, and was Lieutenant of Train Land in 1666. He was Deputy to the General Court 1659, 1660, 1662, 1667, and 1674. He died at Killingworth Nov. 16, 1675, leaving eleven children....	HULL, Josiah (I31248)
528	"The Hull Family in America":....was married Nov. 19, 1653, to Rebecca Jones, 16--1696, daughter of Rev, John Jones and his wife Sarah. Mr. Jone was born in Wales and ordained in England. He came to America on the ship "Defence" in 1635, and on April 6, 1637, was reordained and made pastor of the church at Concord, Mass. In September, 1644, he migrated with a considerable number of his Concord parishioners to Fairfield, Conn., and became the first pastor of the church at that place. When, in 1653, Cornelius Hull was married to the daughter of pastor Jones the town authorities of Fairfield immediately granted him a three acre town lot, to which his father added an adjoining or near by tract, containing 40 acres. Like his honored father he was a surveyor as well as husbandman, and early in his married life began adding to his landed estate, and was soon recognized as a man of substance and a prominent citizen. He was chosen deputy to the General Court in 1656, 1660, 1662 and 1667. In 1661 he was appointed Lieutenant for Fairfield County, and in 1675 was made Lieutenant of "The Hon. Major Threat's Life Guards," the 'crack corps" of the Connecticut soldiery of that period.....	HULL, Cornelius (I31221)

He resided in Hartford; was made an ensign in 1650, a captain in 1660; was elected a deputy or assistant magistrate, of the Colony of Connecticut, before it was joined to New Haven, May 18, 1654, and Treasurer to succeed his father, May 17, 1660, which office he held till 1676. He was one of the patentees named in the Charter of Charles the First, granted to Connecticut April 20, 1662; which document was entrusted to Wyllis, TALCOTT,and Allyn for safe-keeping. In 1676, on the breaking out of the Philip war, he resigned the office of treasurer and was appointed to the command of the army with the rank of major, and in June of that year went into the field at the head of the "standing army" of Connecticut, accompanied by 200 Mohigan and "Pequot Indians." In the various battles with the Indians in which he was engaged, he was ALWAYS victorious, and obtained great renown as an "Indian fighter." Many of his official papers are on record in the Secretary of State's office at hartford, and are interesting relics of the memorable Philip war. Early in the war he was promoted to the rank of Lieut.-Colonel. In March 1662 the General Court granted to him and to John Allyn 600 acres of upland and 100 acres of meadow land, to be laid out in Hammonaset (Killingsworth). Lt.-Col. Talcott died intestate, his property amounting to L2232 3s. 6d., was claimed by his oldest surviving son, Governor Joseph Talcott, who petitioned the General Court May 15, 1691, to give him possession thereof, which he claimed by right of primogeniture.

It is still owned by his descendants. He was the scholar of the family, and to him, his Father bequeathed all his books, except his "martyr Book," which he gave to his son John.

There could be no session of the general assembly without the presence of the Governor or Deputy Governor, the latter was absent attending the commissioner's Court, at Norwich, and public business was pressing.

A joint committee of both houses was appointed to confer on what might be proper to offer to his Honor on the sudden and painful event. The House also appointed the Speaker, the Clerk and Capt.

This house was a large wooden building on the Main street, and was fortified and used as a place of refuge from the frequent attacks of the Indians, and bore the marks of the bullets, until it was taken down, soon after the year 1854.
